2MR-016 – Sage Caswell – Surface Tracks 1 EP

Who would’ve thought one of the first female skateboarders and a psych rock singer would spawn a house music prodigy? If you’ve seen RA’s Real Scenes LA docko, then you might’ve noticed Sage casually rolling some ‘herbs’ while being interviewed, so maybe it’s not hard to fathom after all… These tracks are not one bit spaced out though, they’re all sharp, layered, banging house tracks. Like his previous EPs on Spring Theory and Huxley’s No Idea’s Original, Sage somehow manages to keep things exciting while using very traditional house structures. I guess it’s all in the detail.
